Layout of the week 12/18/2007

Hi Everybody,
I am back with this week's Layout of the Week. What I like about <a href="http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/ideas/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=3027" title="Billie Bee's "> Billie Bee's </a> page "Are we there yet?"
is the absolutely adorable picture and her fabulous color scheme.
I love the bits of orange and the repeated Journaling lines she created following one of Cassie's Tutorials.
Here is the page I am talking about:

Here we go:

Three all time fave Designer Digitals products,links please.
What camera do you use?

Do you listen to a music when you scrap?
What is your favorite snacks while scrapping?
Who is your 3 digital scrapping buddy?
Where would your dream vacation?
What do you want to do right now?

I'm still stunned. I can't be held responsible if my answers don't make sense. LOL.

How long have you been digital scrapbooking? I just started this past spring. Before that, I had been lurking, drooling, and then lurking again.
What size do you scrapbook the most? I do a 12x12 layout, but print 8x8
What do you think your scrapping style is? Ohmigoodness. I don't think I have a style, yet -- unless there's one called "desperate to fill the page." haha. I'm still trying to find myself, but it's pretty intimidating to be surrounded by such amazing artists here at DD. I do aspire to have one of those recognizable styles of the "greats" here, someday.
What motivated you to begin scrapbooking in the first place? It's funny, but I really just stumbled upon it. My mom gave me a copy of PS7 and I didn't know what to do with it. I started googling for tutorials, when I came across DD and other digiscrapping sites. That was the beginning of the beginning: I was hooked, but didn't truly believe I could create the pages I saw.
How has your style changed from when you first began scrapping? I'm still pretty new at this, but I think I'm starting to learn to trust myself, if that makes sense. In the beginning, I would be flipping between my workspace and my "favorites gallery." I'd see these beautiful layouts and then become extremely frustrated when I couldn't replicate something similar. I refused to post in my gallery. Recently, I've become more comfortable with my choices -- sorta relaxing in my digi-skin, I guess.
Three all-time favorite designers? Katie Pertiet, Jesse Edwards, and Patti Knox -- just to name a few of the DD gals. After shopping around, I realized that DD has everything I need. Better yet, the community here is so supportive.
Three all time fave Designer Digitals products,links please. I hope I do this right:

What camera do you use? My DH just bought me a Nikon D40. Another toy I have to learn to use
What software do you use to scrap? PS CS3, baby! Yes, I upgraded this summer when I realized PS7 doesn't do all the uber-cool stuff. Of course, I don't do the program justice, but with Cassie Jones's help, I'm on my way.
What is your favorite color? Green. Definitely.
Do you listen to a music when you scrap? Yes. The musical sound of my children arguing. LOL. Actually, I'm listening to Colbie Caillat right now. Her music is so relaxing -- perfect for quiet scrapping.
What is your favorite snacks while scrapping? I like to eat microwave popcorn mixed with mochi crunch -- which is a Japanese rice cracker popular here in Hawaii.
Who is your 3 digital scrapping buddy? I have no buddies I'm trying to lure my sis-in-law to the digital world.
Where would your dream vacation? I would love to go to Greece. Maybe it's because I teach English and love Greek mythology. I know if I learned how to use my D40 I could take some great pictures there
What do you want to do right now? I'm so excited to be answering these questions, I'm going to have rest, just to get my heart-rate down. After that, I definitely want to scrap a great page
